5-Story Mixed-Use Building Planned for Astoria Boulevard

A developer has filed permits for a 5-story mixed-use building on Astoria Boulevard.

The building, which is planned for 12-22 Astoria Blvd., will feature 10 apartments and a commercial space on the first floor and cellar.

Three apartments will be located on each story from floors two to five, and one apartment will be located on the fifth floor.

Brett Harris of Aki Development, who is managing the project, said that the building will come equipped with many amenities.

Harris said that tenants will have access to “a state-of-the-art fitness studio, curated art program, private storage for each apartment, package room, cold storage, and a landscaped roof deck.”

The penthouse on the upper level will also have an outdoor kitchen, a wall of windows that opens onto a large terrace, and a master suite with a dressing room, a five-fixture bathroom and a private terrace.

The location is 10 blocks from the 30th Ave. (N/W) subway station and is three blocks from Astoria Park.

Aki Development has pursued several major projects in the Astoria area over the last few years. Most recently, the developer opened a 7-story building dubbed “Graffiti House” at 11-07 Welling Ct., and “The Nordic” at 23-67 31st St.

The NYC Ferry system is set to undergo a significant expansion in coming months, with the Astoria route, connecting the western Queens neighborhood to Wall Street, getting a new stop at the Brooklyn Navy Yard this spring.

A 24-year-old Brooklyn man who crashed his car on the BQE in 2017 and left a 25-year-old Astoria woman inside his burning vehicle to die was sentenced yesterday to four to 12 years in prison, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office.
